THE PREDICTION

This should be an interesting first encounter between 22-year-old Emma Navarro and 30-year-old Jessica Pegula in a match that has captured US audiences' imaginations. Both players come from uber-rich families, with Pegula’s parents the current owners of the Buffalo Bills and Navarro’s in the market for the Carolina Panthers, to make for an entertaining if totally inconsequential backdrop.

On-court, world number five Pegula beat Leylah Fernandez in straight sets on Sunday in one of her more convincing performances of what has been a tough 2024 so far whilst Navarro overcame fellow scrapper Jasmine Paolini in three sets – handing the Italian a bagel at the close. The younger American brought a career-high WTA world ranking of 20th into Miami and she can break that with victory here. Overall form this season, and in recent similar conditions, say taking Navarro to earn at least a set is the most sensible way to avoid a tough result.

TIP: EMMA NAVARRO TO WIN A SET
